We have worked with James Mountford at Gaby Hardwicke on a couple of legal matters and have been consistently impressed by the quality of service provided. Throughout each engagement, he was professional, knowledgeable and highly responsive, keeping us informed at every stage of the process. Communication was clear, timely and straightforward, which gave us confidence that everything was being handled smoothly and efficiently. His advice was practical, well-considered and delivered with a high level of professionalism. We would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone looking for reliable legal support and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Supportive, Informative & Professional Well documented as being the best solicitors in the area, and it's a title I really can't argue with. The staff at Gaby Hardwicke deliver their dedication and knowledge with honesty and integrity, everything you need in these moments. The support and information received through this process was tremendous and so what relaxing knowing you're in such good hands. There's not much more I can say, as there's not much more that needs to be said.. I highly recommend their services.

Very efficient

Even though there were delays from the seller, Martin was always responsive and helpful with advice. When the seller then wanted things to move quickly at the end, Martin went above and beyond to facilitate.

First rate!

The assistance Ian gave us over a rather complicated and protracted land transfer was first rate, he explained things clearly – accommodated us when we couldn't easily get to the Eastbourne Office, by sending items that needed signature to Hastings, he liaised directly with the Developer personally and ensured we understood the process all the way through. His time and fees were worth every penny and the costs were most fair. We would highly recommend Ian for help with land matters as he is so easy and pleasant to deal with, doesn't create work where it isn't needed thus taking potential worry out of the situation. We really don't know how to thank him enough and would recommend his services to anybody.

Hermoine Porter was absolutely outstanding. Her and her assistant were kind, understanding and extremely calming in a very stressful situation. Their service and the support and guidance from Paul Maynard was outstanding and the outcome was extremely positive. They worked hard and I can’t thank Hermoine, Paul and the team enough. Above 5* service and true customer service excellence.
